Description
Simple and reliable fried pork chops with a crispy crust and juicy center, perfect for weeknights or relaxed Sunday dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pork chops
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Start by marinating the pork chops in buttermilk for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Remove each pork chop from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Carefully place the pork chops in the skillet and fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels for a minute. Let the chops rest a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, don’t overcrowd the pan and work in small batches to keep the oil hot. For a lighter option, consider baking or air frying.
